Mrs. Bowers' Engagement.

The engagement OF Mrs. Bowers at the
theater, which will open tomorrow even
ing in Elizabeth" will be one of the rare
dramatic treats of the season. Many have
attempted this arduous role, but none have
succeeded in thinning the character OF the
great Queen 50 well as Mrs Bowers. This
one character has been the stumbling
block Of many aspirants for fame. Several
have achieved moderate success in its in
tricacies, but it is left for the best actress
OF our day TO give the great Queen OF Gia-
commctti's dreams really meritorious
representation. Mrs. Bowers gives us the
Queen OF history, the autocratic, domineer-
ing woman who will not be advised; the
woman who hates, and yet who loves as
iiercely as she hates, and will not acknowl-
edge it even TO herself. All these charac-
teristics OF the great Elizabeth succeed
each other in rapid succession. The sale
of seats is progressing finely, and the indi-
cations are that the engagement will be
not only dramatic but pecuniary sue

Henry NJ. Stanley telegraphs from
Zanzibar, recounting the seizure of
the Sultan of Zanzibar's steamer
"hiliva' and the bombardment of
Tungi by the Portuguese. In the
opinion OF Stanley, Portugal is acting
in high-handed manner, relying on
the interference OF Germany. Pas
siveness on the part of England,
Stanley says will be most injurious to
the valuable trade, and England and
Germany together ought to cry Stands
on to Portugal before irreparable
mischief ensues.
Stanley says in reference to the
expedition for the relief of Emin Bay

steamer "Woduea." The expedition
consists of nine European officers,

The Catholic News says: One of
the historical heresies most prevalent
among certain sects in America, but
the least intelligent to be sure, is that
America is Protestant country.
According to consular reports, the
population OF the Spanish American
countries south OF the Rio Grande by
the last census was 45,545,000. Those
people, of course, are all Catholics.
II is estimated that the population OF
the United States at the present .ime
is 5S,000,000, and Canada close on to
100000. The lowest computation
is 100000 Catholics in the United
States, while Canada has a total of
100000. The population of the
two Americas should be, therefore, in
round numbers, l0S,000,000. De-
Quoting from the total aggregate the
Catholic population, it leaves a ma
jority of 100000 for the Catholics
on this side of the Atlantic over all
sects. With 100000 estimated
aguostics the United States of Amer
lea is not protestant any more than
Anglo Saxon.
